Happy New Year to all fellow Pinkies. I wanted to share with you my experiences of the year. It has been the most extraordinary of my life and I'm sure there are more years like it to come.

2009 was the first full year I more fully understood and utilised the Law of Attraction as taught by Abraham through Jerry and Esther Hicks.

I moved house twice (the landlord kept wanting to move back in). The first time I got perfectly what I needed, the second I got everything I wished for - even details I'd forgotten I asked for months before. It made me laugh. It made me sing.

Each time I took on a big project that was perhaps biting off more than I could chew, help arrived, perfectly timed, in the form of people I knew or even complete strangers who stepped in and offered to do it for me. I thought it, they offered it and each project was completed smoothly. Amazing.

My divorce went through at the end of last year and I now completely understand that the woman who took him away was in answer to me whispering into my pillow for so many years that I wished he "would just go away". They got married a month ago now and I hope they will be happy together. :-)

I did a course mid year to extend my education for the first time since high school - something my ex-husband always told me was not necessary. It pointed me towards life coaching. I'm now half way through my training, am designing my business card and feeling more fulfilled and in control of my newly expanded life than I have for the past 20 years. It's thrilling and I know I'm going to be able to do some superb work for my clients.

My children settled into their new school easily which is such a relief, those parking spaces continue to line up for me pretty much every time now and, just for fun this year, I've successfully managed to get the last ticket into the theatre of 6 sold out concerts in a row - haha how delightful.

The post-it note I put on the screen of my computer "Everything is going perfectly to plan" is true.

Say tuned. There's much more to come in 2010! I wish you all well pinkies. Believe in yourself, continue to embellish your dreams until they are thrilling, spread your love and smiles to all you meet; keep your thoughts focussed on all that is fun and feels good; and the world will be your oyster.

Caroline, thank you for such a powerful message. And for the remembrance of the karmic agreement. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Lissa, you're a serious inspiration to me. Thank you for allowing the collective vision to come through you. I am beginning to tell all my female friends to come and check out your site. A few guy friends too who I think will be inspired by what you're doing. :)

Support is all around you. Take good care.

Blessings Ryan

Dear Pinkies

Your outpouring of love, emotion and sincerity in response to this post both here and on the Posse Blog has simply been overwhelming!

Lissa described it as a raw nerve getting touched. I believe that this happened because we had all been seeking and searching for the validation that yes, we were indeed on the right path. That we were not just kidding ourselves either within or without this world of pink. And with that validation came relief and with the relief, healing. The word healing can mean many things depending on who you ask. I use the word healing to describe the shift or release which takes place when we have reconciled with and made peace with a bit of our pain.

As we struggle to become and stay conscious in a comparatively unconsicous world, we find ourselves working through ideas and beliefs that have been handed or even imposed onto us from this world. It is a strange feeling that...busting through these limits to have a little bit more of our REAL Selves.

But even as we set upon this path we know, we sense that there will be joyful expression and spiritual freedom at the end. There are many times when we feel utterly graceless as we stumble along, but then again, that's just a part of the overall triumph. We know that no matter how ugly it looks on the outside that the determination, courage and bravery we have summoned from our depths is perhaps the most powerful, beautiful force that we as spirits in a human body can unleash.

I encourage those of you who would like to become a part of this awakening to make the time, take a chance and step forward so that we can see and thereby support you. Add us as friends, comment on the blogs, tell us where you are.

Owning Pink has to be THE most validating online community I have encountered to date. Even if you feel you don't have a clue where you are or what you might possibly be able to contribute, there is a gap that is here for you and just for you. Without you, it will remain unfilled. Just even an intitial tiny show of hands can inspire others...and this is what the Pink Group Agreement is all about!

With bubbles and bubbles of PINK gratitude...

Caroline

As I said in the forum and I'll say it again. . . simply, I'm with you. Count me in.

:)

Wonderful post, Caroline, and so meaningful. Thank you for blessing us with your words and your vision.

Peace and light, Alice

Thank you so much for your sweet words, Jean. I feel so blessed that Owning Pink is attracting all these intuitives like you and Caroline. Makes me believe we're collectively creating something with a higher vibration that sends out a little ring to those who can hear. Thank you for taking us up a notch with your gorgeous energy. Lots of BRIGHT HOT PINK love Lissa

And in response to the gorgeous posts the rest of you wrote, another:

Okay, still crying, everyone. You've all touched on such a raw nerve, I guess. In the past 24 hours, 3 coaches and two doctors approached me and said the same thing. "You need to start establishing boundaries. You can't give so much of yourself to each individual. You need to protect your heart so you can serve the collective good. You'll only burn out if you don't take more time to nurture yourself and establish more rigid boundaries between yourself and your community." And more of the same.

Herein lies my struggle. Yes, they are right. Yes, I need to be a mother, a friend, a daughter, a doctor, a writer, an artist- and yet Owning Pink is such a newborn, I want to tend it, love it, nurture it. And you all are what Owning Pink is all about. This is so precious to me. So I struggle. Clearly, the work I"m doing is reaching people- which is why I'm still crying here.

When you start something like this, you build it with great faith. Like the Field of Dreams, you hope that "if you build it, they will come." You sink your money, your time- your life into it. And everyone (your loving mother included) thinks your a little nuts. But you never know. Maybe you will build it. And no one will show up. It's our childhood nightmare, isn't it. That someone will throw us a birthday party, and no one will come. To put yourself out there is vulnerable. Yet, I did it.

After giving birth to it, you feed it, water it, love it, and trust that the Universe did not send you this message of love for naught. You believe- and yet, you have dark nights of the soul, when you doubt and question and fear. But then someone like you, Caroline, comes along and shines this gigantic light on the path, and I realize that we are on this path together. I am no longer alone. My dream team has arrived on the field, and I don't need to control this garden we're growing. It's enough to throw some fertilizer on the flowers we are sprouting and sprinkle lots of love when I can. I still want to engage personally with each and every one of you. It's why I created this forum, in part- because I can't keep up with the 14,000 Twitter followers and 700 Facebook friends. But here, we can have our own secret Universe where we can keep connecting intimately- for as long as I can do that and still keep my life balanced. And if I can no longer keep up, I know the rest of you will step up to the plate, as Donna Angevine and so many of you already have.

So please understand as I try to navigate this SO exciting and confusing path. And thank you so much for walking it with me, dear ones. I now know it's okay for me to get out of Owning Pink's way, to release some of the reins, to take care of myself and my family- and to truly surrender to our Pink Group Agreement. We have set the intention- and it is happening- right here, right in this moment. What we have already is enough and yet it will still grow as others are drawn, like moths to the flame.

Please help me welcome others as they come. Send love to others, share your stories, make friends, post on the blog, comment on the stories of others, as they are making themselves vulnerable. And love YOURSELF. It's the first step to opening your heart to the others.

I'll wipe my eyes and quit rambling. Together, we will help each other grow, maintain balance, overcome obstacles, seek joy, attain dreams, and live the love.

So many hugs and kisses to you all. Thank you again Caroline- and all the rest of you- for helping ME. Loads of Love Lissa
